Summary

The PayPlus Payment Gateway plugin for WordPress, prior to version 6.6.9, contains an SQL injection vulnerability that arises due to inadequate sanitization and escaping of an input parameter. This flaw permits unauthenticated users to craft malicious requests through the WooCommerce API route, potentially enabling them to manipulate the backend SQL queries directly. Such vulnerabilities pose a significant threat to data integrity and can be exploited to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. It is essential for users of the plugin to update to the latest version to mitigate this risk.
